File Copy version 1.02

1. What is File Copy?

File Copy is an utility that lets you copy your files, split them when copying to a small media (for example, 1.44 MB disks), and then merge the little pieces from different disks - restore the original file. File Copy works much faster than some other programs of the same type, especially under Windows NT. All the problems with alpha and beta versions were fixed (see 6 - alpha and beta testers), so I'm sure that everything will be OK. Several changes were made in the user's interface since version 1.01. I wish you will find this program useful.



2. Using File Copy.

File Copy is really easy to use. Before copying, you have to enter the name of the file which you want to copy in the "Source file" input field and the path and the name of the target file ("Target file" input field). You may also use just pathname for "Target file"". For example, if you want to copy the file  D:\Work\BC5\BIN\bcw.exe   to  C:\TEMP\bcw.exe , you may enter just  C:\TEMP  to the "Target file" field, and it will work as well as  C:\TEMP\bcw.exe .

When you are ready to copy the file, press "Start" button. If there is no free space on the target drive, you will be asked whether you want to "Stop" copying, change disk in drive and "Continue", or "Change Target" name to write the remaining part of the file to a new location.

If the target file alredy exists, File Copy will ask you for action; you can "Overwrite" this file, "Append" or "Cancel" copying.



3. License agreement.

File Copy is provided free. This means that you don't need to pay for it, but it also means that this software is provided "AS IS" without warranty of any kind.
You must remember: author is not responsible for any damage of your system or your data, even if this damage is the result of the incorrect work of the File Copy.



4. Installation.

You don't need any special installation for File Copy. Just unzip the file fcopy.exe to any folder on your disk - and it is ready to work. File Copy doesn't write anything to your registry and requires about 200 KB of your hard drive space.

6. Alpha and beta testers.

Now I want to thank those two persons who helped me to test and develop the first versions of the File Copy. They are:

Igor V. Polyakoff    http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Haven/4019
Paul Milov              http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Haven/4980

All the bugs they found were fixed in this version of File Copy, so I can say that they helped YOU and made YOUR work easier.


                          Good luck!
